Hi! Ragey doesn't seem to come around anymore, so I figured I'd post this on his behalf. He recently updated his BOMBERMAN Act:Zero page to include a ton of information, a lot of which involves both English and Japanese interviews with Hudson staff. It's pretty interesting.

(He even put together a comprehensive list of each stage, all 99 of them, and their layouts and stuff...)

Check it out here.

So he copy pasted the same stage 99 times? What's the point of that?

Super-stoked to see this background(?) information with the staff. I mean, not-so-super-stoked that it has to exist in the first place, but really interested in seeing how it was a sign of the times. Kudos to Ragey for putting it together.

Very interesting read, thanks for the heads up

Lol!

The differences are pretty subtle. You should have a read if you haven't already. It's just varying numbers of soft blocks, items, and enemies (of which there are apparently 2 types), with some sudden death stages sprinkled in.

If you guys are on Twitter, you should totally follow Ragey. Not too long ago, he posted a full copy of an anime about a girl who draws Bomberman characters (no subs or anything); I'd seen the VHS for sale before but he actually bought one and ripped it!

He even bought some original model sketch sheets from Bomberman Jetters and posted them on Imgur, oh my gosh, Ragey is so cool.  

Oh, snaps, I'd been considering buying those sheets for ORZ. And that VHS, eventually. I'll follow him when...I actually get a proper fannish Twitter account...
